Strategic Alliance Agreement

A Strategic Alliance Agreement documents cooperative arrangements between entities for mutual benefit. This playbook highlights IP ownership, performance metrics, and termination strategies.

Indemnification Provisions

Why This Matters: Proper indemnification provisions protect against significant unforeseen losses and ensure the counterparty bears responsibility for breaches. Poorly defined triggers or caps could leave the client responsible for large liabilities.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Negotiate for broad indemnification coverage, including breaches, IP issues, and legal violations. Ensure caps are reasonable and survival periods are sufficient.

If you're the Seller:

Limit indemnification obligations to specific breaches and misconduct. Advocate for reasonable caps and baskets to manage potential liabilities.

Essential elements

Indemnification Triggers

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if triggers are too broad or caps are too low.

EDIT

ADD

Add language for missing elements like survival periods or carve-outs.

PRO TIP

Always ensure indemnification provisions align with the client's risk management strategy.
